Question restatement: The task asks you to pick the image option that correctly places the necessary Fields in the Rows of a Pivot Table to recreate the given Pivot Table (image 8). The four options show different orders of Department, Priority, and Status in the Rows area.

Option A: Department above Priority. In this arrangement, Department is the top row field and Priority is the second row field. If the target Pivot Table requires Department to be above Status, this ordering would not match that intended structure, and any row-level grouping or drill-down dependent on Status would be misrepresented.

Option B: Priority above Department. Here Priority occupies the top Row, with Department beneath it. This flips the relative importance or nesting order between Priority and Department compared to a layout where Department should be the primary row field. If the original Pivot Table visualizes Department as the primary category, this order would not reproduce that hierarchy accurately.

Option C: Department above Status. In this arrangement, Department is the top Row field, followed by Status as the second Row field. This mirrors a typical two-level row nesting where Department sets the primary grouping, and Status refines within each Department. If the target Pivot Table (image 8) shows Department as the leading/outer category with Status nested inside, this option aligns with the expected structural relationship between the fields.

Option D: Status above Department. This places Status as the top Row field and Department as the secondary. If the Pivot Table’s intended hierarchy uses Department first (outer) and Status second (inner), this option would invert the required order and likely fail to reproduce the same grouping and subtotals observed in the original image.

Why these distinctions matter: Pivot Table Rows determine the grouping and the order in which data is nested. The topmost Row field dictates the outermost grouping, while subsequent Row fields refine within each group. Therefore, choosing the option that places Department as the outermost Row field and Status as the inner Row field would reproduce a structure where data is first grouped by Department, then by Status within each Department. This matches common Pivot Table layouts where Department provides the primary categorization and Status provides a secondary level of detail.

Summary of reasoning across options: Option A misplaces the nesting order between Department and Priority, which would alter the resulting row grouping. Option B reverses the intended nesting between Priority and Department, likely not matching the target. Option C preserves a Department-first, Status-second nesting, which aligns with a departmental primary grouping and status within each department. Option D reverses the outer vs. inner field, leading to a different hierarchical structure than the one used in the target Pivot Table.

Thus, choosing the arrangement with Department as the top Row field and Status as the next Row field would best reproduce the Pivot Table as described.
